Background

How QUIKK came about

Joyce founded QUIKK in 2020, alongside roles at Allianz Global Investors & AMCON Software. The mix of regulated finance, product-focused engineering in public transport, and consulting still shapes how Joyce & his team approach projects today.

In 2023 it became clear that large language models combined with enterprise data are a real lever, but between a prototype and a reliable production system lie many decisions.

That is exactly where we come in today. With a small, highly specialized team, Joyce builds production systems for document- and knowledge-intensive industries such as insurance, law firms, real estate, healthcare, and many more.

How we work

What you can measure us by

Hands-on

Architecture decisions here are made by the people who then write the code.

Direct communication

You talk to the people building the system.

Production, not prototype

We build systems for live operation: with monitoring, tests, and documentation.

Honest assessments

Sometimes the right answer is: you don't need this. Or: we're not the right fit for this. We advise in the interest of the project.
